Advanced config and software update
Hi,
I hope this is the correct Forum for the below question.
We are more and more using advanced configurations like:
- external monitors
- custom alerts (with email-notification)
- remote syslog server (for specific local0 messages)
- custom cronjobs (to copy config and logs via SCP with authorized keys to avoid password prompt)
I guess there are a lot more possibilities of such specific and custom configurations via the commandline or by editing config-files, but most of them will be lost during a software update.
Therefor I want to ask which kind of the above mentioned custom configurations are "safe" during a software update. Or how do they need to be configured (if there are several methods possible) that they are "safe".
For those configurations which could not be "moved" with a software update, is there any kind of best practice how to prepare a software update which such special configurations?
Thank you!
Ciao Stefan :)
